Sync Button not working

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A
1

Hi, user reporting that the sync button doesn’t work when clicked. They are using a tablet to access the app, they have 46 syncs waiting. Wifi connection is not an issue. When they drag down the sync doesn’t work either.

I tried recovery mode but no joy, is there anything else I can try?

Hi @Sarah_Keown

You may want to try manual recovery:

https://help.appsheet.com/en/articles/962247-errors-and-warnings-during-sync

“Manual recovery” section

And a post to deal with the data recovered, here:

https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/AppSheet-Q-A/Best-Practice-for-Data-Recovery-from-quot-Recovery-Mode-quot/m-p/364709

And a way to process recovered data quickly, with the AppSheet Toolbox extension :

In my experience, whenever users have syncs that are queued and don’t resolve when the app is connected to the internet it is usually tied to an error with the data source. I use a SQL table as my data source so sometimes a column would be required in the SQL table but not required in AppSheet. So that error would stay in the queue even if the user forced a sync or refreshed the page.
